Booting 2.6.9 kernel...

[Sai Saravana <sai.sy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I am able to boot the linux 2.6.12 kernel on the arm board. I could compile
the kernel on a linux host PC and
Flash it on the ARM board and it is working fine. The problem was with the
size of cramfs and offset 
I had to pass armflash0:0x65D000@0x1C0000 thru u-boot and then it worked.

But Actually I have to port a driver from ARM Integrator board to ARM VP
board and the driver is available on
Linux kernel 2.6.9. When I build a 2.6.9 kernel and download it ( by
properly taking care of cramfs size and offset
In boot options thru u-boot), it doesn't boot.

Please find the log below. Does any one has the ARM patch for linux 2.6.9
kernel (.config file)? I had generated
It manually from .config file of linux 2.6.12 kernel and I suspect that.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks and Regards,
-Sai.
